We are delighted to be returning to Peterhead Prison Museum in January with our latest talk in the Criminal Law Series. In Kids who Kill in Scotland, we explore every parent’s worst nightmare as we consider cases of serious violence committed by a child, in which we will consider: At what age should a child be held criminally responsible? How are we currently sentencing young people in Scotland and are we getting it right? We will delve into the intricacies of these questions, shedding light on the complexities and dilemmas that judges face.

This has truly made my night! ❤️
A couple of weeks ago I had a fantastic experience attending a Scots Law Talks event at Peterhead Prison. Titled “The Guilty Act”, this talk, hosted by Lindsay Conchar, was incredibly engaging and interactive as the audience took on the role of the jury, as well as discussing and voting on important legal questions arising from a murder case. I highly recommend bringing along friends and family as this was a great way of engaging with issues at the forefront of Scots law whilst having lots of fun and the chance to interact and ask questions! Lindsay was a wonderful host and I will definitely be looking out for future talks!
